I can't imagine life without my slippers and a dressing gown....my husband would sooner die of exposure than wear a dressing gown or Jim jams, I have got him into slippers though, but nice ones, that are more like soft shoes, not old men plaid ones.

I was about to post this - Onesies.


Something like this is good - don't even need to take them off for a walk to a nearby store.

Surely wearing them out to the store and then treading all the dirt and grit back into the house rather defeats the point of having "indoor shoes" in the first place?

I tend to go barefoot in the summer. In winter a pair of slippers both keeps my feet warm and stops me slipping on the hardwood in my socks. I find sheepskin suede things a bit too warm, though - mine were once a rather natty fleece-and-suede moccasin design, but are now rather threadbare. I suspect one or other of the offspring will provide a new pair at Christmastime.

I wear a pair of these around the house. As is, for the summer, then add socks as necessary for the winter (just moved onto the winter look in the last week or so).

Me too! The fluffy socks can be a bit tricky though,

Default Re: To slipper or not to slipper

Having always thought slippers were extremely 'lame' for quite a while, I was given a pair of North Face 'slippers' as a present a few years ago and they're fantastic.

They're an older version of these: http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/...%20TNF%20BLACK

Depends if there's any dirt on the way to the store and whether your mum taught you to wipe your feet when entering your house. .

Default Re: To slipper or not to slipper

I love my slippers. I think it all started as a throwback from freezing boarding school floors in the dorm; and a Matron who'd break your toes if she saw them exposed.

The addition of socks possibly counteracts an fanny magnet effect they may in themselves posses.
